We mix it up with a midweek tempo which is designed to have you primed for the Rye 10 in a fortnight. I may not be at track (unsure yet). Also keep parkrun nice and light by chuck in some extra mins to hit your 60. Any problems let me know. Keep up the strong running Allan.
It all depends on the nature of the session as to how hard you want to work. The longer the reps, the slightly slower the pace will be. Or if doing hills, focus on RPE rather than pace. But you always want to be working hard to ensure you make the necessary gains.
*reps/seconds on both sides
If some of the sets/reps are too demanding at first, just do what you can, you can always build up to 60s slowly. Wall sits and planks in particular can be tough, so just go to the point you feel you need to stop and repeat that time, even if it’s only 20s.
10 Mins WU @ Easy Pace (RPE: 2)
60 Mins @ Half Marathon Pace (RPE: 6-8)
10 Mins CD @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
A good opportunity to practice goal pace for an steady run. The more comfortable you get at goal pace the easier it will feel on race day.
“Rest days are key. Our body adapts and gets stronger when we rest & recovery. Have a good one!”
80 Mins @ Easy Pace (RPE: 3)
Try and keep it easy. It all depends on your current level. If slowly adding time to your long run the last 10-20 mins might be tough. Focus on good form.
